CAROLINA CHANSONS by Heyward & Hervey Allen, ““This Is & book which well may set | & fashion, and a good one., It is an attempt, and a succossful attempt, to catch in verse the haunting memories | and rich atmosphere of Charleston | and its tributary south——Charleston | and its aura give it a breadth of in- terest irrespective of absolute literary | merit, As for this last, ‘Carolina| Chansons' disarms criticlsm, The at- tempt is so laudable .

Of all his books, in fact, this last one is the widest and most ambitio in range, the most fertile in discu n and arguments; and for that reason it may lack the immediate charm of some of them, though of diffused charm and entertainment 1t has plenty and of interest so much that it certainly ranks with the best of them.

In addition to this 500 boys under 18 years of age were guided and helped and le- gal aid was provided for 400 addition- al men accused of crime but who had no friend at court or were without adequate resources to obtain their le- gal rights. This brought the total applicants aided in the 22 years of the associa- tion's life to 00, and the average cost per applicant in this length of time was $9.69. A significant part of the report is the notation’ of the earning capacity of the men assisted in 1921. In that year, according to the report, 208 pa- roled men worked a total of 19,610 days and earned $126,581, an age of 84.56 a day. “In other words one-sixth of the men aided that year earned tight times the association’s entire income,” says the report. The Central Heward association is named after John Howard who was sheriff at Bedford, Ing., in 1773 and who is known as the father of mod- ern prison improvement, Its field is confined to the Central and Western states and its method is more individ- European Title | tarther than this, ! ual than collective, It acts as “first friend"” to paroled men and serves as the mediator between the public and the man who has gone wrong, but who wants to get right. Practical employ- ment is obtained for the man, also working etools, clothing, shelter and tood. The objects of the association go however. Tt aims to obtain modern, wholesome jails; realize more efficient action in courts; establish the principle of reformation in correctional institutions and work for prevention of cfime by better su- pervision of offenders while on pro- bation and parole. The officers of the association are: George W. Dixon, president, and ¥. Emory Lyon, foun- der and superintendent, both of Chi- cago.
